Batch send friend requests

Batch send friend requests

Last updated：2024-03-21 17:10

Overview

You can call this operation to batch send friend requests to up to 20 users for a user. If you need a higher limit (50 at maximum), contact ZEGOCLOUD technical support.

If the target user is a one-way friend, the request is accepted upon the call.

For example, if users A and B are two-way friends, and user A deletes user B, user A becomes a one-way friend of user B, and user B is not a friend of user A. In this case, user B becomes a friend of user A after this operation is called, without the consent of user B.

Each user can have a maximum of 3000 friends.

After a friend request is sent, the client of the user receives the notification in the following ZIM SDK callbacks.

iOS	Android	macOS	Windows	Web
friendApplicationListChanged	onFriendApplicationListChanged	friendApplicationListChanged	onFriendApplicationListChanged	friendApplicationListChanged
Flutter
onFriendApplicationListChanged

Request parameters

The following table describes only the operation-specific request parameters and some common request parameters. For the complete list of common request parameters, see the Public request parameters section of the Accessing Server APIs topic.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
FromUserId	String	Yes	The ID of the registered user for whom friend requests are to be sent.
FriendInfos	Array of Object	Yes	The list of users to whom friend requests are to be sent. Up to 20 user IDs can be included.
UserId	String	Yes	The ID of the target user (registered), which cannot exceed 32 bytes in length.
Wording	String	No	The information included in the friend request, which cannot exceed 256 characters in length.
FriendAlias	String	No	The alias to be set for the target user, which cannot exceed 256 characters in length.
CreateTime	Number	No	The time when the request was created. This parameter can be used to migrate the list of friends during data migration. If the value is set to `0`, the ZIM server uses the current time. If the value is not set to `0`, this parameter needs to be a Unix timestamp in ms and cannot be later than the current time.
UpdateTime	Number	No	The time when the request was updated. This parameter can be used to migrate the list of friends during data migration. If the value is set to `0`, the ZIM server uses the current time. If the value is not set to `0`, this parameter needs to be a Unix timestamp in ms and cannot be later than the current time.
Attributes	Array of Object	No	The friend attributes. Up to five attributes are supported. The total length of the `Key` and `Value` parameters cannot exceed 1,024 bytes. If you need a higher limit, contact ZEGOCLOUD technical support. We recommend that you set a proper limit.
Key	String	Yes	The key of a friend attribute. Valid values: `k0`, `k1`, `k2`, `k3`, and `k4`.
Value	String	Yes	The value of a friend attribute.

The FromUserId and UserId parameters can contain only digits, letters, and the following characters: '!', '#', '$', '%', '&', '(', ')', '+', '-', ':', ';', '<', '=', '.', '>', '?', '@', '[', ']', '^', '_', ' ', '{', '}', '|', '~'.

Response parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
Code	Number	The return code. When you send friend requests to multiple users at a time, take note of the following items: If one or more requests are successfully sent, `0` is returned. For more information, see `ErrorList`. If all friend requests fail to be sent, a corresponding code is returned. For more information, see Return codes.
Message	String	The description of the request result.
RequestId	String	The request ID.
ErrorList	Array of Object	The list of failed results. If `Code` is `0`: If `ErrorList` is empty, all friend requests are successfully sent. If `ErrorList` is not empty, some friend requests fail to be sent. In this case, see `SubCode`. If `Code` is not `0`: If `ErrorList` is empty, one or more parameters are invalid, the QPS limit is exceeded, or a system error occurs. If `ErrorList` is not empty, all friend requests fail to be sent.
UserID	String	The ID of the user to whom the friend request fails to be sent.
SubCode	Number	The code returned when the request fails.
